Rabid Child by They Might Be Giants
[Convention: each chord is four beats/a full measure. A dash indicates that
the chord is held for another measure; two chords with a slash between
them are held for two beats/half a measure each.
This song is a bit easier to play if you raise it a couple semitones:

Rabid Child stays at home talks on a cb
truckers pass calling out their handles to the kid
Chess Piece Face and the Big Duluth call her every day
«hammer down» and «rabbit ears» are the only words they know
Ab
Hammer down
Rabbit ears
Bb D Eb C
If you pass the Rabid Child say «hammer down» for me
Ab — D —
the Rabid Child
Bb —
the Rabid Child
